Infectious disease in the Pleistocene: Old friends or old foes?
American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 182, Issue 4, Page 513-531, December 2023., 2023 Sources of evidence for studying infectious diseases of humans and other Pleistocene hominins. From top to bottom: DNA analysis of humans and hominins, modern and ancient, including the analysis of genomes at a population scale; palaeopathology, such as osteolytic skeletal lesions resulting from infection, and the study of mummified tissues or palaeo ...

The ephemeral resource patch concept
Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 3, Page 697-726, June 2023., 2023 ABSTRACT Ephemeral resource patches (ERPs) – short lived resources including dung, carrion, temporary pools, rotting vegetation, decaying wood, and fungi – are found throughout every ecosystem. Their short‐lived dynamics greatly enhance ecosystem heterogeneity and have shaped the evolutionary trajectories of a wide range of organisms – from bacteria to

Head lice as vectors of pathogenic microorganisms
Tropical Medicine and Health, 2023 Body lice and head lice are the most common ectoparasites of humans. Head lice (Pediculus humanus capitis) occur worldwide in children and their caretakers, irrespective of their social status.

Allergy, Volume 78, Issue 4, Page 1088-1103, April 2023., 2023 Our high‐quality genome (3.06 Gb) and precisely annotated proteome (29,939) of the American cockroach help revealed a broader allergen spectrum. Seven novel allergen groups Per a 14 to Per a 20 and one isoallergens (Per a 7.02) were validated using ELISA in Thai cohort. Comparative analysis of P.

Nuclear genetic diversity in human lice (Pediculus humanus) reveals continental differences and high inbreeding among worldwide populations. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Understanding the evolution of parasites is important to both basic and applied evolutionary biology. Knowledge of the genetic structure of parasite populations is critical for our ability to predict how an infection can spread through a host population ...

The Prevalence of Pediculosis in Southern Iran From 2016 to 2021. [PDF]
J Trop MedIntroduction One important measure of community and personal hygiene is the prevalence of lice. Healthcare providers and strategists must analyze this illness across several groups if they are to create sensible plans and services for its decrease. The objective of this study was to find the prevalence of head lice in Iranian endemic regions.

Phylogenomics of the family Lachesillidae (Insecta: Psocodea: Psocomorpha)
Systematic Entomology, Volume 48, Issue 2, Page 316-327, April 2023., 2023 Monophyly of bark lice family Lachesillidae never was recovered. Monophyly of the tribe Graphocaeciliini and the genus Lachesilla never were recovered. Systematic position of Eolachesilla chilensis was unstable across different analyses and data sets.

Dermoscopy applied to pediculosis corporis diagnosis [PDF]
Anais Brasileiros de Dermatologia, 2014 We report the case of a 47-year-old homeless male with a massive infestation of Pediculus humanus corporison his entire body. Dermoscopy helped to diagnose pediculosis by showing the involvement of scalp, beard and the genital region in this disease.

Theme and variation in the evolution of insect sex determination
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, Volume 340, Issue 2, Page 162-181, March 2023., 2023 Graphical abstract Sex determination and dimorphic somatic differentiation are common in insects, such as the milkweed bugs (Oncopeltus fasciatus) shown here. Variation in the functions and structure of genes implicated in insect sex determination is not uniformly distributed.
